It appears its sale the previous year fell through, or at least the ferry flight was cancelled. Still looking impressive in the Red Deer storage area in Spring 2015.

Operated from at least three continents as a passenger, VIP and cargo plane before being converted (again) into an airtanker. That role ended after about two years already due to corrosion. She has donated many useful parts since then.

The cabin of this airtanker has no function itself anymore: it is not to be used for passengers or cargo. Several of the extensive modifications to turn an Electra into a Long Liner are visible, noticeably the wing reinforcement beam just above the floor and the lack of interior panels. The latter is part of the removal of the cabin pressurization and noise reduction provisions, as those add weight that can be done without in the firefighting role.

A closer look at this Long Liner's nose decorations. Tanker 481 had been operated for the B.C. government, as indicated by the "Forest Service British Columbia - Airtanker Operations" badge on the fuselage. On the nose wheel door is an emblem commemorating "45 years Wild Fire Suppression". Another L-188, two Commanders and an AT-802 are in the background.

Engine test run on this powerful airplane. It can be ready for take-off three minutes after a cold start, yet has a firefighting mission endurance of four hours. On the nose is the logo of Alberta Wildfire Management - Air Attack, in the form of the province's outline.

Pre fire season preparations by Air Spray on a busy apron at their Red Deer base. Air Spray is certified to perform depot-level maintenance, like manufacuring wing panels that only need to be post-processed in the USA. In the background are sisterships C-GZCF and C-GHZI.

Freshly out of the hangar after maintenance. No titles or logos worn here and some empannage skin plating still in primer. Like most Commanders, this one too logically had a longish corporate career, before becoming a bird dog.
